Quotable

“A Category 4 hurricane is an extremely challenging, dangerous and exhausting assignment and we are grateful to everyone involved for their incredible work. After launching less than a year ago, Fox Weather did an outstanding job focusing on every aspect leading up to the magnitude of landfall and the aftermath of this historic storm with the ultimate precision. Every facet of the team was prepared, and it showed throughout all levels of coverage, components of which outdid competitors that have been on the air for 40 years… Thank you again to all our journalists for their extremely hard work and dedication in covering this story.”
– Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott and Fox President/Executive Editor Jay Wallace in a memo to staff following Hurricane Ian’s landfall
